Wonderful first week of our honeymoon - perfect!

We had such an amazing time staying at South Kona Hideaway - it really was the perfect first week of our honeymoon! Very clean and well set up, super comfy bed, everything you could need. Peaceful with the most stunning sunsets to enjoy on the balcony, and then as the sun goes down the frog chorus begins - wonderful! Tina was the perfect host, her homemade muffins were to die for and the tropical fruit platter, freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee beans all from the farm were such a treat. Tina was so helpful with top tips on things to do - we did everything and loved exploring the area. We really did have the most brilliant time and would love to come back one day! I would highly recommend this property. Thank you so much for welcoming us and looking after us so well. Mahalo.

Highly Recommended

We have booked a number of HomeAway rentals over the years and this was one of the best. We spent three weeks travelling around the Big Island and chose the South Kona Hideaway because it looked like a good spot for a quiet final week where we could just chill out and visit a few beaches. The apartment was very comfortable and good value. It was well equipped and well planned and met all our expectations. Getting breakfast for the next day delivered every evening was an unexpected treat, and other bonuses were being able to help ourselves to papayas and avocados and the large range of beach equipment we could borrow. Lovely helpful hosts. There are two apartments on the property and it would make a good place for a family are friends who want to vacation together but also have some privacy.

A little piece of heaven

Lovely place, very hospitable hosts surprising us with home baked goods and lovely fresh fruit and eggs everyday. The whole experience here was impressive. We’ve stayed at many VRBO’s and can’t say enough about this place 😊

Beautiful & Relaxing

The grounds are gorgeous and very well maintained. Tina & Keri are accommodating, giving and caring of all people, animals and their community. The units are very clean, well stocked and the beds and linens were more comfortable than most! We will definitely return to the Hideaway.

A wonderful place to stay

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay on the Big Island. Appreciated all the thoughtful things you did, like leaving fresh fruit and delicious homemade muffins for our arrival! What a treat to taste the hand-picked fresh fruits grown on your property. It really made us feel welcome, especially with the late arrival and being pretty hungry after the trip. Nothing like a fresh taste of the island and the sound of the frogs outside, to let you know you've arrived! Plus, great directions, so we were able to find you even in the dark - also love the little lights outside guiding us to your place every time. Your suggestions for where we could find things and looking into the Manta Ray booking on our behalf, really saved us time and made our holiday so much more enjoyable. Loved the binder that you put together with restaurant and beach suggestions. Thank you for being great hosts and making our visit fantastic!

About the host

Hosted by Tina Snapp and Keri Jones

After many trips to Hawaii, we finally bought a home and relocated here in 2012 from Colorado. Tina is a retired nurse and Keri is a veterinarian. We have travelled the world in search of the best snorkeling, and this rivals the best. We are willing and happy to help with recommendations, but will otherwise be out of your way.

Why they chose this property

South Kona Hideaway is one of the most relaxing places we've ever stayed. The property is beautiful, the sunsets incredible, and you're only 10 minutes from beautiful live coral and brightly colored fish. Your own lanai and a cocktail... What more could you want?

What makes this property unique

Your continental breakfast will be delivered to your unit the night before and ready when you are. You can get up early or sleep in. You will not have to worry about somewhere to park, or being able to find your way back at night on a one lane jungle road. We are only half a mile off the main highway, on a 'full sized' paved road. Snorkel equipment, beach chairs, and boogie boards are available to borrow during your stay.
